DENVER – May 10, 2023 – Denver Film announced today that it will host its annual Summer Scream fundraiser, Aug. 24 from 6 – 11 p.m. at the historic Lakeside Amusement Park, 4601 Sheridan Blvd. A limited quantity of four-pack tickets for the age 21-plus, end-of-summer event are available for $225 and go on sale May 11 at 10 a.m. at denverfilm.org. Individual tickets, on sale at a later date, are $75.
In addition to unlimited rides and nightlong open bars, Summer Scream will celebrate its 11th anniversary with nostalgic ‘90s-themed thrills, including live music and an immersive experience.
“To quote Jesse Spano, ‘we’re so excited, we’re so excited!’ to be back making Summer Scream the best thing going in the dog days of August,” said Chris Getzen who, along with Andrew Novick will serve as immersive creators for this year’s event. “This year, you’ll be able to see live performances, comedy, music, magic, hear local history, and even see pro-wrestling that will happen no place else. You can tell your parents you’re staying at a friends’ to watch The Real World. Just be sure to return those videotapes before you come!”
Summer Scream is the only private, cultural event to take over Denver’s iconic Lakeside Amusement park – all in support of Denver Film.
“We’re all looking forward to seeing just what Chris (Getzen) and Andrew (Novick) have in store for us at this year’s Summer Scream,” said Denver Film CEO Kevin Smith. “From Millenials and Gen Zs whose lives took shape during this crazy decade, to anyone who celebrates, this year’s immersive experience is going to be ‘all that and a bag of chips.’”
